Litecoin’s technical picture
The initial support is created by SMA50 (Simple Moving Average) 1-hour at $64.30. It is followed by psychological 64.00 and the lower line of 1-hour Bollinger Band currently at $63.50. Once this support area is cleared the sell-off is likely to gain traction with the next focus on $63.00 strengthened by the lower line of 4-hour Bollinger Band ($62.90) and the recent low of $62.37.
On the upside, we will need to see a sustainable move above $65.00 (SMA100 1-hour) to allow for an extended recovery towards $65.70 (the upper line of 1-hour Bollinger Band). The next resistance awaits us on approach to $68.80 (SMA50 4-hour) and $70.00
